Curtains
April 2013
Close the curtains before you turn on your light - my mother had a look for this, a kind of Don't let me down, it's not much I ask expression in her eyes, which was not a lot different to her Don't be late look, or even for that matter the dreaded Did you get Mass look. I often think of her now, and how we were, each time I close the curtains.
Two comics and a short story. |

The Well Below
August 2011
| A symbiotic collection - comics and a short story - concerned with memories, the passing of time and the struggle to reconcile our grown-up selves with the children we were. In the title story, life can be spacetime-consuming for an out-of-sync kidult caught in the orbit of a romanticised past. When his trajectory shifts, shit happens. |
